    Dell Alienware m17x r2 BIOS dump

    Hi all,

    Have this Dell here that got stuck during bios update to writing block 47 of 70.

    Motherboard : PCB: DELH-41-AB4400-AOOG

    I have download main(U8) and EC (U4) from vinafix and flashed both but no change.

    Symptoms: Powers on with black screen, fan spins, lights on, turns off then starts again with all those but it doesn't turn off anymore and it doesn't react to power button.

    Does anyone have a known working dump for this model?
    Also.. what does U17 do ?

    Thanks

                      Dell 9010 MT BIOS Update Always Fails
                      by mikeybass
                      Hi, I hope some one has some advice for me. I searched the forums but didn't see anything relevant. I acquired two identical Dell 9010 Mid Tower computers from a business office upgrade (they were going to throw them out). Both of them have the same motherboard (00F82W). One of them works flawlessly. The other one had a corrupted BIOS. I tried flashing numerous main BIOS and EC files from the internet, but none of them worked. I decided to copy the main BIOS and EC from the working 9010 computer and successfully flashed the corrupted BIOS. This got the computer able to boot again and run norm...

                      Dell Latitude 5400 Chromebook UEFI bios
                      by jhanra
                      Hi there masters, recently i got a dell 5400 chromebook and wanted to install windows, i searched the internet and i found out other people also wanting a UEFI bios for this model, i searched there is a R/W legacy, but there are bugs like keyboard/trackpad not working, and hard to install.

                      so i decided to try to port one, this bios is based on dell 5400 windows version, i am testing this bios for a week now an found only a little to no bug at all in windows 10, or only a minor issue
                      in windows 11 sound driver compatibility, but overall its ok, for me i can deal with it, 😅😅😅...

                      I need a BIOS dump for the Samsung S49CG934SU monitor
                      by Habble7
                      The Samsung S49CG934SU monitor does not power on - no LED indicator activity and no response to power button. However, when 21V power is connected, it immediately draws 0.8A of current with no display output. The motherboard processor gets warm, and there is continuous reading activity from the W25Q128BV BIOS chip.

                      Suspected Cause:
                      I suspect the BIOS may have been corrupted during a power interruption while updating the firmware. The official website provides firmware updates, but they can only be installed via USB flash drive.

                      Troubleshooting Attempts:
                      ...

                      Dell Alienware 15R2 Bios recovery.
                      by fiveOfox
                      Hello all! I'm new here but looking to get help with my Dell Alienware 15 R2. I have dumped the bios and have already tried another bios online and it worked but i would like to have all my info in the new bios but i also don't know my service tag as it was worn off the bottom so I'm hoping someone could help get it from the old bios image and get me a working image for my machine that has all the correct info!


                      I have provided my original corrupted bios and the bios i used to get the machine working.
                      Thank you!...
